  <p class="h2subheading">— Windows, Menus and Toolbars —</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="user_interface1" src="../Images/user_interface1.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <p class="calibre1">Sigil’s user interface consists of:</p>

  <ul class="calibre3">
    <li class="calibre4"><span class="listheading">Windows:</span> Displays for information like Book View, Book Browser, and TOC.</li>

    <li class="calibre4"><span class="listheading">Main Menu:</span> Most of the available commands, like <span class="shortcut">File→Open, are listed here.</span></li>

    <li class="calibre4"><span class="listheading">Toolbar Buttons:</span> Movable buttons that provide quick access to many menu items.</li>

    <li class="calibre4"><span class="listheading">Keyboard Shortcuts:</span> User-definable shortcuts for all menu items, like <span class="shortcut">Ctrl+S</span> to save your file.</li>

    <li class="calibre4"><span class="listheading">Context Menus:</span> Commands shown when you right-click on something, like a filename or window.</li>
  </ul>

  <div class="tip">
    <p class="tiptext">The screenshots in the User Guide may be slightly different to what you see on your computer.</p>
  </div>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc">Windows</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">Sigil uses various windows in the main interface to present information: a window to show your files, to edit your book, to view your table of contents, etc.</p>

  <p class="calibre1">Windows can be hidden – use the <span class="shortcut">View</span> menu entry to show or hide specific windows.</p>

  <p class="calibre1">Certain windows can be also moved. To move a window, click on its header label and drag it to its new location. For instance you can place the Table of Contents under the Book Browser:</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="user-interface-toc-under-window" src="../Images/user-interface-toc-under-window.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <p class="calibre1">You can also create tabs for the Table of Contents and the Book Browser, and other windows, if you drag and drop it directly on the Book Browser window instead of just above or below it:</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="user-interface-toc-tabbed" src="../Images/user-interface-toc-tabbed.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <p class="calibre1">You can even undock windows (separate them from the main Sigil window). To undock a window, double-click on the heading of the window. In some OS’s you can also undock and re-dock the windows by clicking on the little button in the top right corner of the window.</p>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc" id="keyboard_shortcuts">Keyboard Shortcuts</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">Keyboard shortcuts (e.g. <span class="shortcut">Ctrl+S</span> for Save) are shown next to menu entries and in <span class="shortcut">Edit→Preferences: Keyboard Shortcuts</span>.</p>

  <div class="tip">
    <p class="tiptext">You can create or change keyboard shortcuts in <a href="../Text/preferences.html">Preferences</a>.</p>
  </div>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc" id="main_menu">Main Menu</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">This is the list of menu items that is always at the top of Sigil’s window or your screen:</p>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc" id="context_menus">Context Menus</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">Context Menus are menus that appear when you <b class="listheading">right-click</b> on text, a label, a window, a tab, a header, a text box, etc. – like a file name in the Book Browser, selected text in Code View, or an image in Book View. Context menu items are discussed in related chapters:</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="book-browser-context-menu" src="../Images/book-browser-context-menu.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <div class="tip">
    <p class="tiptext">When in doubt, right-click on something to see if there are additional actions available!</p>
  </div>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc" id="zoom">Zoom</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">On the lower right of the main window is a zoom control that lets you shrink or enlarge the text and images independently in Book View, Code View, and the Preview window:</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="" src="../Images/zoom.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <p class="calibre1">The 100% indicates the zoom level of the view and this percentage will increase or decrease when you click on the + or – icons.</p>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc" id="status_bar">Status Bar</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">The bottom area on the main window (to the left of the zoom control) will occasionally list status information when an action is completed.</p>

  <p class="calibre1">The status bar can also show information about the currently opened file, such as Line and Column in Code View:</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="" src="../Images/status_bar.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <h3 class="sigilnotintoc" id="tooltips">Tooltips</h3>

  <p class="calibre1">Many of the buttons, dropdown boxes, labels and fields have tooltips that provide information on how they are used.</p>

  <p class="calibre1">To see a tooltip just hover your mouse over the button or other item and the help text should be displayed:</p>

  <div class="image"><img alt="" src="../Images/tooltip.png" class="calibre7"/></div>

  <div class="tip">
    <p class="tiptext">There are many tooltips available in Sigil – most dialogs and buttons will provide some help text.</p>
